The Inspiration Behind Â€˜Stranger Thingsâ€™ Main Title Sequence
Design/Dissect: The Inspiration Behind â€˜Stranger Thingsâ€™ Main Title Sequence 08.23.2016 If you've seen Netflix's Stranger Things then you know that its creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, have a potent ability to channel the vibe of the early '80s, and of the pop-cultural ephemera contained therein. But as deep as you might think their vision for this supernatural drama goes, it's probable that it runs even deeper. For evidence of this, look no further than Stranger Things' colossally satisfying main title sequence, a masterpiece of mood and momentum that the Duffer Brothers were mapping out with design studio Imaginary Forces before they had even started filming the show's eight-episode first season. "We got started in the process way earlier than most titles that we do," said Imaginary Forces creative director Michelle Dougherty, who was impressed with the Duffer Brothers from the very first call with them, during which they mentioned Richard Greenberg as a reference point. Greenberg is a figure who design buffs will know as one of cinema's great main title designers, but who most people have likely never heard of. "When they mentioned his name on the call, I was like, 'wow, that's incredible,'" she said. "The Duffer Brothers are very into main titles." Greenberg's body of work includes some of the most evocative title sequences ever put on film, especially in the categories of '70s and '80s horror and sci-fi. Stark and minimal, with an almost fetishistic reverence for the type itself, his mesmerizing openings are high points in creepy classics such as The Dead Zone, Altered States and Alien.

The day it came out, I was house sitting for three amazing dogs. I sat down in the living room of the house, and I watched the first epi- sode...and then the second...and then the third...before I knew it, I had watched the entire sea- son! I loved it! I urged so many people to watch it, and guess what? They loved it, too! This show is something special. It’s nostalgic, it’s SF, and it speaks to so many people. Also, I felt like Dustin reminded me of someone I knew...I can’t remember when I finally put my finger on it that he is a young Chris Garcia! I even got Chris Dustin’s Hawkins Middle School ID...it just seemed an appropriate thing to do. If you haven’t seen this show, you really should. Chris notes— I remember hearing everyone raving about Stranger Things on FaceBook and not getting all the hype. Vanessa and I had, I believe, one year olds slithering around the house, and theus it were difficult to get the time to actually watch.

On Secular Spirituality in the Duffer Brothers' Stranger Things, Series 1
Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (ISSN 0975-2935), Vol. IX, No. 3, 2017 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v9n3.03 Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V9/n3/v9n303.pdf On Secular Spirituality in the Duffer Brothers’ Stranger Things, Series 1 Liesl E. King York St John University, England. Email: [email protected] Received August 07, 2017; Revised September 12, 2017; Accepted September 17, 2017; Published September 20, 2017. Abstract This paper explores the way in which the Duffer Brothers’ popular Netflix series Stranger Things draws on religious symbolism in order to create an allegorical landscape, one which invites viewers to consider the most pressing topics of our time—climate change and ideological opposition. It argues that apocalyptic sf, with its focus on urgent contemporary questions related to technological advancement, is the perfect genre for exploring secular spirituality and ethics, as it potentially impacts as well as appeals to religious and non- religious viewers alike. The paper concludes by considering the way Stranger Things encourages viewers to consider what a ‘spiritual’ response to disaster might look like, and what we might do individually and collectively to become more aware of the damaged “hyperobjects” (Morton, 2013) that surround and move through us, but which can be extremely difficult to keep in clear view. Keywords: Netflix series, Stranger Things, hyperobjects, climate change, ideological opposition. This essay focuses on the way apocalyptic narrative draws on religious themes and symbols to foreground a contemporary, secular understanding of the term “spiritual”. I have selected a popular Netflix series in order to exemplify my argument—The Duffer Brothers’ Stranger Things (2016) — as many fans of the genre will be familiar with its storyline, and like me, eagerly awaiting Series 2 which will air this coming autumn.

Student Sample 1
Student sample IB Film: Textual Analysis Stranger Things: The Disappearance of Will Byers (Duffer Brothers, 2015) Sequence Chosen (00:00:28 - 00:05:28) Word Count: 1749 The 2015 Netflix series, Stranger Things, sits at a peculiar crossroad between the criterion of success in popular culture (Duffer & Duffer, 2016). The unexpected commercial success and appraisal from critics of the series not only reflects the current rise of nostalgia but also its ability to resound with the masses whilst informing us about the ways we can deal with the frustrations caused by contemporary social issues. It is therefore unsurprising that the effectiveness of the text itself requires the aid of intertextual influences, genre conventions, recurring themes, mise-en-scene, and other film elements to convey a narrative and aesthetic that resonates with its audiences. Stranger Things is set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana in 1983. It mixes Horror with Sci-fi and Mystery genres centered around a group of young boys, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, and Lucas Sinclair on their search for their missing friend, Will Byers. A telekinetic laboratory runaway, "Eleven", escapes from a mysterious government facility on the very same night Will disappears. Through the use of their toys, board games, and fictional theories, along with Eleven's help, the boys begin to piece the clues together (Duffer & Duffer, 2016). The series was surprisingly successful particularly so since Netflix chose to believe in the "contagion factor" by not marketing it at all (ldato, 2017). These institutional factors become interesting when looking at the speed of throughput in mainstream media today, which runs on spontaneity and instantaneity of mass communication, making competition fiercer than ever before.

Abduction and Brainwashing in Stranger Things
A Journal of Undergraduate Writing Mizzou Advantage Writing Contest: 1st Place “I Don’t Know Where My Boy Is!”: Abduction and Brainwashing in Stranger Things Blake Beck In “Chapter Six: The Monster” of Netflix’s Stranger Things, there’s the big reveal: Eleven, the daughter of Terry, a former subject in the Central Intelligence Agency’s Project MK-Ultra, was stolen—abducted—by “the big bad Man” to be used as a psychic weapon against the Soviet Union. Everything’s there: child abduction, brainwashing, the Man, an irrational fear of communism. In other words, it has all the makings of the perfect conspiracy theory, one that brims not only with government distrust but also other fears and anxieties—of childhood innocence, individualism, and social influence. With Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers have seemingly struck gold, and the show’s instant popularity is proof. Its charm is no coincidence, and though 1980s nostalgia may have a lot to do with its success, I believe it has something more to do with America’s continued preoccupation with perceived threats by unseen forces on childhood innocence and the privacy of our minds, both of which are inextricably connected. With the convergence of connected. With the convergence of child abduction rumors and brainwashing conspiracies, Stranger Things addresses contemporary anxieties about social influence and technology, as well as the public’s distrust of the federal government. Despite remaining more or less separated in popular culture, brainwashing conspiracies and child abduction rumors, specifically those concerning organ theft and body defilement, tackle similar themes and anxieties. The former entered the popular imagination of America during the Cold War, during which, “Soviet totalitarianism, technology, and collectivism were said to have reduced the Russian people to manipulable objects that could be duped without knowing it and were incapable of independent thought or action” (Smith 219).

Netflix Nostalgia: Screening the Past on Demand, Edited by Kathryn Pallister
Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media no. 19, 2020, pp. 230–241 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33178/alpha.19.22 Netflix Nostalgia: Screening the Past on Demand, edited by Kathryn Pallister. Lexington Books, 2019, 260 pp. The Aesthetics of Nostalgia TV: Production Design and the Boomer Era, by Alex Bevan. Bloomsbury Academic, 2019, 245 pp. Martin Fradley It scarcely needs pointing out that “nostalgia” has become a highly contentious battleground in recent years. Since the European Union referendum and the election of Donald Trump in 2016, a backwards-looking retreat into regressive nationalist mythologies has been widely understood as ideologically symptomatic of liberal democracies still reeling from the economic implosion of 2007–2008. Typically seen as a reactionary tendency of the political Right, the nostalgic amnesia of the progressive Left is equally self-evident in sentimental mourning for both the pro-hegemonic Obama presidency and the UK’s membership of a market-driven European Union. It would be a mistake, however, to understand this brand of nostalgic regress as simply a post-2016 phenomenon. As Simon Reynolds points out in Retromania, the “end of history” has heralded a neurotic preoccupation with the past. “Instead of being about itself,” Reynolds muses, “the 2000s have been about every other previous decade happening again all at once: a simultaneity of pop time that abolishes history while nibbling away at the present’s sense of itself as an era with a distinct identity and feel” (x–xi). As Reynolds suggests, there is a paradox at the heart of twenty-first century nostalgia.

The Breakthrough Character of the X-Files: Genre Hybridity and Narrative Structure
Acta Universitatis Wratislaviensis • No 3869 Literatura i Kultura Popularna XXIV, Wrocław 2018 DOI: 10.19195/0867-7441.24.13 Agnieszka Smoręda ORCID: 0000-0001-7451-0933 University of Łódź The breakthrough character of The X-Files: Genre hybridity and narrative structure Keywords: The X-Files, narrative complexity, narrative strategies, genre hybridity, TV series, television Słowa kluczowe: Z Archiwum X, złożoność narracyjna, strategie narracyjne, hybrydyzacja gatunkowa, serial, telewizja The beginning of the 1990s was for the United States a particular time. The end of the Cold War and the lack of an easily identifiable external enemy forced many Americans to focus on the country’s internal problems.1 At the same time, the entertainment industry, television in particular, began to change as well. The technological evolution made television producers ever so boldly use the achieve- ments of the film industry, such as hand-held cameras, first incorporated in the late 1980s in the TV series Hill Street Blues (created by Steven Bochco, Michael Ko- zoll, 1981–1987) and popularized in the following decade.2 For television’s Big Three — NBC, ABC, and CBS — new competition emerged through the creation of Fox Broadcasting Company. It began broadcasting in 1986 and only seven years later, in January 1993, FOX started offering original programming seven days a week, thus gaining the status of a broadcasting network. In the fall of the same year, The X-Files (created by Chris Carter, 1993–2002, 2016–2018), a defining series of the 1990s, debuts. The purpose of the following article is to examine the innovative character of the series, using on the one hand genre theory and on the other, David Bordwell’s historical poetics adapted by Jason Mittell “to understand the formal storytelling 1 L.
